Celtic Athletes excel at schools cross country.

Celtic athletes were out in force at the annual ‘Brother’ schools cross country today in Santry. We had a big gang in the primary schools race for 5th and 6th girls with Antonia and Antoinette Shodiya, Kate Harrold, Alex Corr, Claire O’Connor, Keelin Gogarty and Alannah Keogh ( all Mary Help of Christians school) running really well and winning the team race. Kacey Tully also had a brilliant run for St Catherines. James McManus led the John Bosco team to 3rd place in the Primary schools boys race.

In the minor girls race for secondary schools St Dominics girls Clare Murphy and Anna Petit were a brilliant 2nd and 4th backed up by super runs from Sara Byrne and Cliodhna Donaghy. Gillian Murphy continued her comeback after a nasty knee problem had a brave run and the team were 2nd overall. Sean Donoghue ran a superb race for St Declans in the boys race winning in fine style with Conor Murphy chasing hard all the way through. In the junior girls race Dora Medgyesy was a fine 2nd and led her team from St Dominics to first place with Libby Peppard in great form and Sara Jane Darcy also running very well.

In the inter boys race Daire Finn ran a very impressive race to record yet another fine win for St Declans. Such a pity a big school like St Declans cant get teams out to support our boys. Last race of the day for Celtic was the senior girls with Ellen Byrne having a great run in 4th place, with Aoife Corr a fine 5th and with Abbey Corr battling all the way ensuring first team for St Dominics with great back up from Aoife Donaghy. Ben Quinn ran in the senior boys race for Belvedere and hung on well despite the distance being a bit long for him. Great day!. Well done to all. A big thank you to all the parents who supported.

League 2

Well done to all our 37 athletes who turned out for League 2 in the Phoenix Park today. The athletes who attend training regularly are certainly showing the results. The standout performers today were Shauna Gogarty, Clare Murphy, Sean Donoghue, Dora Medgyesy and the under 12 girls team. Well done to all.

In the Novice womens event which followed the juvenile races Cliona Murphy came a fine 6th, with Edel, Fiona and Clare finding the going very tough on a fast 4k course. Great running ladies!
